Direct from London’s West End, The World Of Musicals will bring together a collection of musical theatre classics to Australian stages for the first time.

Selling out their tour across Europe, the colourful production features an international cast who perform solo, duet and ensemble numbers which span across a huge variety of genres.

The show will bring all the drama of Les Miserables, to the upbeat tunes of Sister Act, the Motown flavour of Jersey Boys and the rock and roll beats of We Will Rock You.

The World of Musicals will feature songs from Broadway smash hits Wicked, Rocky Horror

“The best thing is that the show really is for everybody from one end of the scale to the opposite,” Johanne said.

Although the huge variety of numbers is a challenge, Johanne said it gave everyone in the cast a chance to “shine”.

“It keeps us on our toes and excited to perform every night.”
